Journal entry by Elizabeth Monnett —
We are so excited to share that Oliver is home with us at last! He is settling into life at home with a very rambunctious big brother. Gregg & I are elated, exhausted and emotional - there were days when the idea of him ever coming home felt like a dream. We thank everyone who reached out over the past month and sent kind words. That support has kept us going.
Our neighbors the McLeods have kindly created a Meal Train to help get us through the next few weeks as we adjust to being a family of four. If you’d like to sign up to bring a meal, you can do so at this link: https://mealtrain.com/325rg8
Finally, we are so incredibly grateful for and indebted to the amazing teams in the WakeMed NICU and UNC Hospital PICU who cared for Oliver over the past month. This happy ending would not have been possible without them.
